Joyce Smith's 14-year-old son John fell through an icy Missouri lake one winter morning. At the hospital, John lay lifeless for more than 60 minutes. But Joyce was not ready to give up. She mustered all her faith and strength and cried outto God in a loud voice to save her on. Immediately, her John's heart miraculously started beating, again.
